Multilayer ceramic capacitor with external electrode having a carbon layer

A multilayer ceramic capacitor comprising:

• a ceramic body having a first surface and a second surface opposing each other in a first direction, a third surface and a fourth surface opposing each other in a second direction and connect the first and second surfaces, and a fifth surface and a sixth surface opposing each other in a third direction and connect the first and second surfaces;
• a plurality of first internal electrodes and a plurality of second internal electrodes that are disposed inside the ceramic body;
• a first external electrode disposed outside the ceramic body and connected to the plurality of first internal electrodes;
• and
• a second external electrode disposed outside the ceramic body and connected to the plurality of second internal electrodes,
• wherein the first external electrode includes:
• a first electrode layer disposed on the first surface and electrically connected to the plurality of first internal electrodes, a first conductive carbon layer disposed on the first electrode layer, and a first metal layer disposed only on a portion of the fifth surface and in contact with the first conductive carbon layer such that an edge of the first metal layer contacts an edge of the first conductive carbon layer at an intersection of the first surface and the fifth surface, and
• the second external electrode includes:
• a second electrode layer disposed on the second surface and electrically connected to the plurality of second internal electrodes, a second conductive carbon layer disposed on the second electrode layer, and a second metal layer disposed only on a portion of the fifth surface and in contact with the second conductive carbon layer such that an edge of the second metal layer contacts an edge of the second conductive carbon layer at an intersection of the second surface and the fifth surface.
